Without a transport network, tourist will not able to reach the tourism destination. Since they do not provide their own transport, the tourists are very dependent on local transportation services to support their activities. Proper public transport will influence the tourism industry development. Therefore, provision of good public transport in tourism area is important in supporting the tourist and non-tourist activities, no exception in the tourism island. Lack of accessibility by public transport is a serious problem in Bali Island. Public transport in Bali Island is still not well developed. If this issue continues to occur, it will further hinder tourism development. In this case, recommendations are made for Bali Government in order to improve accessibility by public transport for tourism and non-tourism activities. Recommendation is made by comparing accessibility by public transport in other tourist islands. Public transport issue especially in tourism is very interesting for me since I was born and grew up in Bali. Bali as my hometown has many potential in tourism, e.g. culture, nature, and history. Before working as civil servant in the Ministry of Transportation, I was helping my father as a driver for tourist services. During my travel experience and my conversation with tourists, I realized that Bali still lack in public transport. Within the conversation during trips, I also know that tourists are preferring travel by public transport than private car. I believe that tourists in Bali will be increasing, if the tourists only served by private cars, the road capacity will not enough. I am wondering how to improve the public transport in Bali. Therefore I choose to explore the public transport in other tourist islands. Crete Island – Greece and Mallorca – Spain become my case study since they have better public transport. In finishing this thesis, I receive many supports. Therefore, in this time I want to express my gratitude. First of all, I want to thank to Ida Sang Hyang Widhi Waca for all He gives to me. Secondly, I would like to convey my great appreciation to Dr. Eva Heinen, and Ms. Puspita Dirgahayani who always encourage me, and guide me in order to keep my thesis on the right track. Thirdly, I want to say my gratitude to Mr. Ir. Heru Purboyo H.P, DEA, Ph.D as the head of study program the Magister of Transportation and Prof. dr. Johan Woltjer as the iii coordinator of the Master Environmental and Infrastructure Planning, the originator of the double degree program for Magister of Transportation. Furthermore, I want to say my gratitude to my institution of Ministry of Transportation for approving me to study master program. In this occasion, I want to express my gratitude to all of my colleagues in Double Degree Program ITB-RuG 2012 for all their supports. Most of all, I would like to convey my great gratitude to my beloved parents (I Gusti Ketut Subrata and Ni Gusti Ayu Sudiani), my lovely wife (Cok Istri Dewiyani Cakrawati), my little princess (I Gusti Agung Pragya Prameswari), my brother (I Gusti Ngurah Sudiantara), my father-in-law and mother-in-law (Cokorda Nyoman Sudarsana and Ni Komang Sri Sugesti), my friends in Directorate General of Civil Aviation, Ministry of Transportation, and my big family in Indonesia for supporting me during my study, and also Mas Ronny, Tante Indah, Om Yon, and Mbok Tut Nik for being my family in Groningen.
